A top-to-bottom (sort of) eating expedition at KLCC, starting with Harley-Davidson Cafe.
The third-floor view of KLCC's fountain from Harley-Davidson Cafe is alluring, but the food we tried here was unappealing, liquor was unavailable (OK, that's probably understandable) & smoking was unrestricted despite the cramped indoor space.
Grilled beef ribs. Almost as tough as leather, with little to offer, flavor-wise.
Charbroiled lamb tenderloin. Gamy & also chewy; far from the best cut around.
Kedondong & pink grapefruit juice.
For dessert, it's best to flee to KLCC's concourse for Bruno Gelato.
Four flavors in a large cup for about RM20: white chocolate, hazelnut, biscotti & dolcelatte. Soft, creamy & flavorsome, this is enough to make us feel like kids again.
Bonus place: finally, a short stop at Santini for alfresco dining & drinking.
Valrhona chocolate fondant. Not the most amazing version in town, but acceptable.
Dark rum-laced Jamaican Coffee & Bailey's Crunch (butterscotch, baileys, milk), both cursed with low liquor content. Alas, Santini's finest years might be long gone.
Wrapping up with more shots of Harley-Davidson Cafe.
Harley-Davidson Cafe, Bruno Gelato & Santini,
Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur.
Boohoo to bad food. Is the cafe located within the Harley Davidson retail store?
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: oh ya, at the back of the store. Great location though, just a few steps away from the TGV multiplex and Chili's =)
ReplyDeletethe chocolate fondant looks odd....
ReplyDeleteI had Bruno's the other day after Garrett's. Didn't the fancy The flavors much though.
ReplyDeleteMichelle: heheh maybe it's the camera lighting. Taken in quite bright light :D
ReplyDeleteQwazymonkey: oh, I like how the flavors seem quite traditional for gelato. Conservative but safe :D
*imagines sean on a harley-davidson motorcycle juggling a cup of gelato and glasses of booze-drenched coffee*
ReplyDeleteHmm. Maybe not. :P
Kenny: I can imagine myself back on the honda motorbike I used to ride on campus, juggling my textbooks and a mineral water bottle. Ok ok, not as exciting, heheh =)
ReplyDeleteI remember Santini from my Mont Kiara working days. KLCC seems to have failed to live up to the good ol days in Mont Kiara though.
ReplyDeleteBruno Gelato - yummily good that i can never have enough!
Missyblurkit: ya, I think there's a sense of complacency and 'business-as-usual' at santini nowadays. They've got the tourist business and the lunch crowd business, so maybe they feel OK to slack, heheh =)
ReplyDeleteAlamak.. tough as leather?! no thanks... :(
ReplyDeleteCiki: yeah, wise decision! :D
ReplyDeleteso is there a harley Davidson on display for you to ride and take picture? heheh
ReplyDeleteEiling: i think there are a few at the store! but not sure if the staff encourages customers to pose with them and snap photographs :D
